Galileo and neglects of science. Livio M.

In this book, the famous astrophysicist and writer Mario Livio addresses the figure of Galileo Galileo, claiming that today his life path, scientific search and the desire for cognition of the world are more relevant than ever. The discoveries of the scientist, based on tireless observations and brilliant experiments, contradicted the generally accepted ideas and positions of the Catholic Church of that time. As a result, Galileo was devoted to the court, his life was at risk. In conditions of global challenges, such as climate change on the planet, modern scientists, like Galileo 400 years ago, are faced with distrust of research, denying their results, and ignoring the conclusions. Therefore, to this day, Galileo remains a hero and a source of inspiration for scientists and all those who honor and are ready to defend scientific truth.
